Film Stars Ever Seen in One Group

a of benuty, as well as the greatest

Ambassador Hotel here August

the o é

mall to accommodate the 5,000 who we

gathering.

If vou could not find your favorite
tar it was your fault, for not one of
them was missing from the floor. The
gchting effects were the greatest ever
seen and the immense Kleig lights
ot only shone thru every window, but
the colors of
kaleidoscopic

from every nook came
the rainbow until the
effect was that of the fairyland out-
done. The cameras were there taking
nietures of what was perhaps the
largest gathering of picture stars ever
seen in one group. Not only was the
ballroom packed to capacity, but every
corridor and avenue leading to the
‘oom. The grounds outside were
lighted until it was hard to say if it
was night or day, so bright was the
seene. The decorations were rich and
million dollars worth of gowns
produced a sight that will live forever
n the minds of those who were for-
tunate enough to be there. The affair

was strictly formal and not one in-
cident of disorder was noticed during
the entire evening.

Resides the ball, which was, of course, the
feature, the dances were interspersed with acts
f various kinds and the program was long
nd interesting, altho the chairman told a
Billboard representative that it was very hard
to omit many of the good things that were
offered for the entertainment. Charles Murray
was master of ceremonies and he did his work
with a master hand, keeping his hearers in a
roar of laughter thruout his announcing The
ntertainment, which was under the direction

f Jeff Lazarus, of the Metropolitan Theater
taff, was as follows:

Alexander Oumansky and Fay Adler, in the
Dance of the Wooden Soldiers’’, were quit

on the purposes and success of the “Greater
Movie Season’’ and made a masterful talk on
he subject most paramount in the minds of
i. Harry Carroll, in songs of his own com-

position, was just as big a hit as he has been
thruout the States. Walter Hiers was next

The new George S. Kaufman-Mare Connelly
piece,. “‘Be Yourself’, put on display in
elaborate yet not sumptuous style by Wilmer
& Vincent, whose “Helen of Troy, N. Y."’ still
lingers pleasantly in our memory, from every
indication will have a long and comfortable
ensconce in the Harris Theater. If it should
be disturbed from that hahitat, there are any
number of others into which it could settle
without any great difficulty.

The team of Kaufman and Connelly, who
seldom miss their goal, have given us another
good solid evening's entertainment. They have
provided a scintillating book, exuberant with
breezy lines and amusing situations, and Lewis
Gensier and Milton Schwarzwald have supplied
music that fully justifies its existence in the
piece. The extra lyrics by Ira Gershwin are
sparkling and also deserve a word of praise.

The whole show, it would seem, has heen
tatlored for Jack Donahue and Queenie Smith,

they fit it so perfectly. In the hands of others
‘Be Yourself’? might just ‘‘be itself’, where.
as with this rare combination of talent pass-
ing out the delectable fare provided, the show
simply becomes ‘Jack Donahue and Queenie
Smith’. They make it what it is, in other
words, and, altho this diverting pair are prac-

tically the whole works, so to speak, G. P.

Huntley and Georgia Caine must not be cast
aside without mention, for they do much to
assist the play to its’success. Huntley doesn't
have a very long part, but he most certainly
makes his lines count. As the typical English-
man, minus the ability to grasp American
jokes and slang, he is egregiously funny and
it’s a shame a longer part could not have been
meted out to him. As for Georgia Caine, her
infectious smile, general engaging manner and
sweet voice cause much attention to be focused

on her.

Donahue is funnier than ever in his own
delightful style, and the performance he gives

is more unctuous and
he has given before, ei

,

in his favor.

Dancing, of course, is Donahue’s forte. He

has a few new bits added to his repertoire ¢!
are capital, and while much of the routir
done by him while in vaudeville is inelnded

his specialties, they all take with sure-fire
precision

“The Tantrum” is the sort of play which,
hinged on a good idea, swings the wrong Way.
The temptation for the commentator is to
point out its deficiencies and mourn the mis-
directed effort Which means that the play is
good enough to make one wish it were better.

The Tantrnm

The play starts with a nagging wife berating

think that about sums up ‘“T!

her husband. This takes place in a thesteor
auditorium. Then the scene shifts to their
home and a whale of a scrap is staged between
the pair. The husband leaves the family dove-
cot; the wife tries to find consolation wi*h
another man. At the end, finding she cannot
wean him from a newly found fascinator, she
shoots them both. The action turns out to
have been that of the play they were witness-
ing.

The wife is played by Roberta Arnold, who
gives a most able reading of the role. Miss
Arnold gets right under the skin of the charac-
ter and fills it out into a buman, life-! ke
creation. It is first-rate acting.

The husband is done by Joe King, who will
suffer, I am sure, because the part is not
nearly as showy as Miss Arnold's. To the
discerning eye, tho, Mr. King not only gives
a mighty fine reading but nmeasurably aids
Miss Arnold by playing squarely up to her at
every opportunity. Many of her effects would
fall flat were it not for his working them up
so well. This is not a gratcful part, but one
which calls for careful playing if it is to
find its right niche in the piece. It gets this
from Mr. King.

The lover of the wife is in the hands of Roy
Gordon and I liked him little Mr. Gordon
has the habit of speaking or listening to an-
other character with his eyes averted. Instead

of looking at them he may be found counting
the house or admirng the decorations in the
auditorium It must be disconcerting to his
fellow players and it certainly does not add to
the enjoyment of the audience

A genuine hit was made by Will Deming in
the role of a merry souse. Mr. Demng had
plenty of opportunity here to u-e his great gift
for comedy and he carved a character out of
the part which was extremely funny. Hazele
Burgess played an Irish servant with complete
fidelity and genuine skill, Viola Leach cot what
there was out of a part which contained little
of worth, and Charles Kennedy, with a part
no better, made a few moments of ‘t interest-

gz. The balunce of the cast, including Corone
Payn'er, Elmer Cornell, Phil White, Frank
Miller, Dana Desboro, Bobbie Perkins, Helen
Fowble and I. S. Merlin, were excellent,

“The Tantrum" js directed well and = the
production is of the best. What prince pally
4iis it is its starting in one direction and then
getting off at a tangent. The audience seemed
bewildered when the shoot ng took place, and
even (the explanation that what they had been
Witnes

5 Wus supposed to have taken place
in a play did not seem to satisfy them. Au-
dierees cao be fooled and made t

» like it, but
it is a procedure which must be handled with
Ereater shrewdness than the authors of ‘The
Tantrum” have shown, If the pece could fol-

low out the promise of its first act it would be
ugely enjoyable, One has a feeling of acute
d sappo.otment that it does nut.
A comedy with a great start and a poor
finish. GORDON WHYTE,

The bar at Cognac Pete's,

If this season brings forth a finer play than
“What Price Glory’, it will be memorable.
If it doesn't, it will be memorable anyway
I have seen a good many productions in my
time, but very few bave gripped and held me
as this play has.

To call it a play is to miscall it. It is not
a play in the ordinary sense of the word. It
is no thing of plot or planned punch that a
dramatist wise in the ways of the theater
might turn out It is no sophisticated theatrical
product. It is a story of men in war, bard
boiled and tough marines who fight for a
living. Its three acts are a view of them earn
ing their bread and butter.

Into this is thrown something which you in
stinctively recognize as truth, living and raw
The authors have not sought to polish and re
fine the actions or speech of their characters.
The performance reeks with profanity, yet
igs not profane. It is just the talk of hard
men who, wanting to be forceful, lack the
vocabulary to express their thoughts in any
other way. For the Messrs. Anderson ani!
Stallings to have used anything else would hav
been committing an artistic crime. I suppose
our professional snoopers will call down th
wrath of heaven and the authorities on the
language of ‘‘What Price Glory’’. They may,
but they will be the only ones who will. The
honest man and woman will see this play as it
should be seen, hear it as it should be beard,
and thank their stars that Arthur Hopkins pur
it on,

The cast is composed of many men and one
woman The principal men are a captain,
played by Louis Wolbeim, and a sergeant,
played by William Boyd. The performance of
these two actors is superb. Never by even so
much as a hair's breadth do they veer from
their characters. They are the epitome of
truth in acting.

To name the other players in any sort of
detail in the short space of time at my dis-
posal would be a futile thing. I hope to re-
turn to this play and speak of it at length
later. It js that sort of play. Just now I
must content myself with pointing to Fuller
Mellish, Jr; Clyde North, James A. Devin
and Luis Alberni as doing particularly excel-
lent work, with no prejudice to the rest of the
cast, who were all truly good, In particular
the only female character in the piece was
splendidly played by Leyla Georgie.

The settings for the play have been done
by Woodman Thompson in his best manner,
which means that they are everything they
should be. The stage direction does not seem
to be direction, and if there can be any greater
praise than that I ask you to write your
own ticket.

“What Price Glory’? is the one play I have
seen in years that I could go to more than
once—much more than once. It held me on
the edge of my chair for three-fourths of the
performance. The remaining one-fourth the
tension was only slightly, very slightly, re-
laxed. It never slumped. Arthur Hopkins has
done many very fine things in the theater; he
bas also done some funny things He has
produced nut plays, he has botched good plays,
but no matter what he does in the future he
can look the world squarely in the eye and
say: “I produced ‘What Price Glory’.’’ That
will finish the argument

The most gripping play in many,
many years, flawlessly directed and
acted, GORDON WHYTE.

GENERAL STRIKE ORDER FOR

PANTAGES CIRCUIT RESCINDED

Eleventh-Hour Concession on Part of Spokane
and Seattle Managers Averts Walkout of
Union Musicians and Stage Hands

EW YORK, Sept. 6.—An eleventh-hour concession on tl
gers in the Spokane and Seattle houses led today t
Pantages Va

strike order against the
Federation of Musicians,

general
American
September &.

Immediately following the receipt of
word that the Pantages managers had
agreed to withdraw their demand call-
ing upon musicians tS waive the mini-
mum personnel clause, In-
ternational President Joseph N. Weber
dispatched telegrams instructing union

orchestra

heads in Pantages towns to lift the
strike call.
Similarly word was sent out by the
veneral office of the International Al-
ince of Theatrical Stage Employees

hat the ordered walkout
ill off.

In announcing the recall of the strike order,

sympathy

was

occasion

President Weber took to warn the
Western vaudeville managers that such an
ttitude as revealed in the Seattle situation
vould not be tolerated. In other words,
Wel ntimated that other circuits, particue
the Orpheum Circuit, bad had much to

do in bringing about that state of impui-se
the Seattle negotiations and that their
thod of dealing with the union was, to say

e least, hypocritical.

Had we permitted,” he said, ‘the abroga-
tion of this minimum clause in the signing
f the Pantages contracts the victory would
ave been followed by a series of other de-
ands that would in time not only lower our

rking conditions, but undermine the very
iture existence of the American Federation
of Musicians.”

Weber let it be known that the federation

s well aware of the fact that other Western
renits were behind the Pantages organiza-
t in the fight to force the repeal of the
minimum clause and he said he hoped this
ssue had been settled for all time. Taking
t backslap at the insinuating methods used by

he other Western circuits in the
Seattle situation, he said:

“You may say that these managers and cir-

dealing with

enits must once and for all understand that
they can't be friendly in one town and an-
tagonistic in another.’’

Vauderille house and circuit managers thru-
out the West, it was learned, have organized
nto local, district and State gatherings in the
eampaign to force the musicians’ union to back
down on the minimum theater orchestra per-
wnnel clouse

Contracts, Weber said, bad not been actually

ened between the Pantages managers and
nion conferees, all this depending on the final
ttlement agreed upon at Spokane and Port-
land

But, he added, there wasn't the least doubt
it the twe groups would come together on
1 points involved, ineluding the matter of
wag nereases, in beth cities, The adjust-
ment of contracts in these cities will practically
ear up all new wage agreements in which

SEPTEMBER 13, 1924

This eens

B. S. Moss’ Broadway,
New York

(Reviewed Monday Matinee, September 8)

A bill of fairly satisfying quality, with nary
a knockout headliner included, was trotted out
before a capacity house. A touch of the odd
flitted about the opening number on the bill
Lluyd Nevada and Company, but from then on
the form and arrangement of the stuff swerved
not an inch from habit and trad tion. An air
of mustiness and hackneyed a rding-to-rule
hung over the proceedings, giving rise to ob-
servation that perhaps novelty and invention
have reached the end of their endeavors in
vaudeville and the two and three-a-day is con
demned to persevere under the yoke of rote and
established form. The stock scenery of the av-
erage vatideville theater is a tatterdemalion,
drab affair, the costumes of the women lacking
every bit of distinction and optic appeal, while
en attitude of sloppy indifference toward achiev-
ing some originality pervades the work of the

performers. A heavy blight of dullness and
mediocrity has descended and taken root.

Lloyd Nevada's bag of black-art trick novel-
ties tickled the folks to gusts of glee. Floating
white-painted objects before a black curta’n on
a pitch-dark stage, elements of
the comic and mysterious, balls, boxes, just
mere faces, airplunes and what not came float-
ing out of the void, performed their peregrina-

combining the

tions and floated back into the void. Simple,
elementary stuff, but highly entertaining.
Newell and Most chattered and harmonized

their way thru a stiff hand of appreciation. Th s
couple have nothing in the way of gags that in-
vites snitching, altho a goodly number of their
lines gathered a vote here and there. Occa-
sionally the laughs came in spasms, but what put
the turn over was the fine blending of voices
to the strumming of a guitar,

Frank Van Hoven’s crazy antics and exhaust-
chatter stirred the folks into a frenzy of
laughter, but not until he had fired a round of
cartridges to stir them out of their Monday
morning stupor, It was Van Hoven’s old lay-
out of stuff, splashing of water about the stage,
running up and down the aisles, Katzenjammer-
ing wth a couple of boy assistants and cavort-
ing with a small cake of ice. The gags and
clowning kept them in a jubilant mood and Van
Hoven pped off to a drawn-out hand. On,
yes, be performed one or two magic stunts.

Al Roth's new offer'ng sticks to the old mold—
a six-piece jazz band, two cute little synco-
pators, a toe dancer with modern tendencies,

less

ste

and a male eccentric dancer. When the dancers
aren't dancing the band goes on playing. A
versatile, talented lot, that band. Al Roth
rocks a neat bow, strums a soothing guitar a la
Hawaiian, and contributes his share when the
bandsters take to warbling. One of the saxo-

phonists stepped out of his character and caroled
*“Macushia’’ almost in the manner of John Me-
Cormack to a pleasing band. The pretty little
syncopators, a treat for the eyes, snapped their
toes, wabbled their shapely shoulders and tw

hither and thither ever so gracefully to the
high delight of the audience. These charming
lassies were billed as the Day Sisters. The
talented Ina Alcova was aS vigorous and as
Stirring as ever in her rhapsody of toepunting
and kicking, while Arthur Dryson gave an ad-

mirable exhibition of intr-cate eccentric dancing.
The general reception of Roth’s turn was more
than flattering.

Palace, Cincinnati

(Reviewed Sunday Matinee, September 7)

The seventy-minute vaudeville bill this week
is distinctly song and dance hotoplays: Vir-
ginia Valli and Milton Sills in “A Lady of

Quality’’ and Lee Moran in ‘“‘Hot Air’’.

There was not a program anywhere in sight,
so we were led to believe the Keith manuge-
ment is prone to accept our suggestions that

programs are a part of the show and that the
people who pay from forty to sixty-five
cents for their seats feel entitled to t

tho they might be printed on inexpensive paper
the size of a handbill. There were several times
during show that we felt the need
program to enlighten us as to whom the
viduals might be in acts with three or
people, since some of the specialties were ex
ceptionally good and deserving of special men

19 Palace, Now York

(Reviewed Monday Matinee, September 8)

A good, all-round show, with the first half a whale. The second half
slowed up for a while due to a sketch, and a rather poor arrangement in the
running order was evident when Harry Burns opened it and Neville Fleeson
held the next-to-closing spot These two might switch for several good roa-
sons, casting no reflection on ther turn. Attendance was up to the usual

high mark.

John Monroe and Tom Grant, in a comedy bouncing act, were good for

laughs. They also gave a trampoline exhibition of skillful tumbling. The
prop comes on as a decrepit motor truck, giving it a touch of novelty

Keo Taki and Yoki provided a pleasing offering of Jipunese versatility.
There are three in the turn, and whether the girl, who appears to be of Oc-

lental antecedents, is included in the billing is unknown to us. In front
of a striking drop a juvenile did some songs, accompzunied by a pianist. Sub-
sequently the girl did song and dance bits, while the pianist trotted crt a
ukulele und did some marvelous strumming, doing both melody and chords
with a movenient all his own. Toward the close a bit of Risley work, done
to music, with a dash of comedy as well, took place, with the cradle resting
on the piano.

The Cansinos, in a “Fantasia Espanola”, again proved conclusively that
theirs is Spanish dancing without a peer in American vaudeville, and one

that sets a stan:

lard so high that nobody has been able to approach it in point
of production

showmanship in presenting it and sheer talent. Each of the
eight numbers done maintain the same fast tempo to the accompaniment of
appropriate, tuneful selections.

A. Robins, “The Walking Music Store”, in a parody on musicians, gave
an interesting and humorous series of musical imitations, presented in a sort
of protean comedy style. For trick changes and effects he ranks with some

of the best on the boards.

Ted Lewis and Band, which is synonymous with crack showmanship, closed
the first half, stopping it as well after numerous encores and no end cf ap-
plause. Lewis has made some changes, especially in the opening bit, which

is done as a king who divests his ermine in favor of a minstrel costume,
which is none other than his old reliable. Keeping up with the times in per-
fecting zz orchestras to the highest devtree, he has changed the instru-

mentation of his outfit and added “th ree men, making it ten pieces, including

himself. In p! ce of the bass horn he has a bull fiddle; the saxophone is out
and in place he has two violins. Three are in the brass section, open only
for the opening chords. This combination gives an exquisite, subdued rhythm.
As if his own pov ful punch was not enough to put the act over, Lewis
brought out one “ig Shorty’, a stocky, struttin’ hound, who wowed them
every time he stepped out. If Lewis “killed ’em”, the unique stepper em-
balmed and buried ’em. It wes all in the presentation, guided by showman-
ship instinct, which brought the Cancer out at the opportune moment.

Honorary
Membership

In Actors’ Equity Association
Offered Maude Adams—John
Drew Presents Letter

New York, Sept. 8.—The Actors’ Equity As-

sociation bas offered honorary membersuip in
the organization to Maude Adams. This action
Was taken by the execu! ive council this week
when B. C., Whitney notitied it that he had
completed arrangements with Miss Adams to

present her on a tour of the country in Bernard

Shaw's “Saint Joan’. Whitney accompanied
tuis information with a query as to what ihe
coune 1 would do regarding Miss Adams’ re-
turn to the stage. She is not a member of
Lquity or any “other players’ organization nor
has ever been. Whitney anted to know
whether, he being an independent manager, it

would be necessary for her to become a mem-

ber of Equity or not. The council replied by
offering her honorary membership in the fol-
lowing letter:

“September 2, 1924,
“Dear Miss Adams:

“The council of the Actors’ Equity Associa-
tion lin nstructed me to inform you that at
its meeting today a motion was unanimously
passed offering you honorary membership in
the association. This was done not only in
recognition of your wonderful career, but also
to welcome you back once more to the Amer-
ican stage, which we all feel to be a most
auspicious event,

“The council sincerely hopes that you will

see your way clear to accepting honorary mem-
bership in the Actors’ Equity Association, which

has worked so hard to protect and benefit the
actors and the theater of this country.
“With kindest personal regards, J] am.
“Most sincerely yours,

“GRANT STEWART,
“Recording Secretary, Actors’ Equity Assn.”

By resolution of council this letter was
entrusted to John Drew for delivery in the

DANCE HALL WAR
LOOMS ON B’WAY

Stiff Competition Leads Pro-
prietors To Sign Special
Attractions

New York, Sept. 8&.—Competition for the
ballroom trade of Broadway will result ir local
dance fans hopping to the best or hestras in
the country beginning next Week with the
opening of the new Arcadia, one blo« k from
the pioneer establishment, the Roseland

The Arcadia has signed Ray Miller and His
Brunswick chestra and for the opening week
raul visiting orchestras,

especially neluding
Isham Jones, are expected to appear. Mille
also promises his Mound City Blues Blowers and
another crack combination Surprise which he
has up his sleeve. Several big-time vaud vill

s, like the Mosconi Brothers, will also be
seen at the Arcadia.

To offset these attractions it became known

day that the Roseland management
tracted for Vincent Lopez's Orchestrs four
days, beginning next week, and will follow that
band with Jan Garber for three weeks.
In addition to these two a new or hestra
built up by Sam Lanin, who has been scourin
the country for star soloists, will be a stand hg
feature at the Roseland. The Fletcher He
son Orchestra, now at the Roseland, goes intu
the new ssing Show’

At the Cinderella Ballroom, two blocks from
the other two contenders, Wille Creager and
Louis Katzman have a novelty combination
des'gned as a comedy outfit as well as danc
Orchestra with unusual arrangements by Katz-
man and Creager. The former arranger was
with a well-known publisher for years and
turned out many big hits, Also as a surprise
orchestra the Cinderella has just signed a
combination new to New York which will be
heard next week.

With Jan Garber at the Roseland the Vic-
tor record company wlil have an orchestra on
Broadway for the first time since Paul White-
man closed last spring at the Palais Royal.
The Brunswick is backing Ray Miller and
is lending its artistes to make the Arcadia
a success. The new dance palace is said to
be the last word in such places and has re-
cently been completed.

With such orchestras on Broadway, loca
dance patrons will be able to show their
favoritism for any one of several orchestras, and

ich will outdraw the other is a matter of
speculation in professional as well as lay
circles,

This competition, which comes to a head next
week, was first foretold in The Billboard some
weeks ago The various ballroom managers
are determined to get the best orchestras at
any cost. It is pointed out that all three
ballrooms will hardly survive, and also that
real dance orchestras have been comparatively
Scarce in Broadway dance establishments.

pathetic case aroused the sympathy of many
when it became known. One publication raised
some money by subscription among its readers
and the girl was able to replace the hole in
her savings, which were intended for a much-
needed operation.

Most significant

situation is that the posta) inspectors,

have followed up all
removed the amateur-
mulcting sources. Davis succeeded in securing
a conviction in every one of his cases. It was
thru his efforts that all customers of the song
sharks who expressed dissatisfaction with their
dealings received some money by way of res-
titution.

In New York several indictments
song sharks are pending, while others are out
on bail. The Chamber of Commerce has not
relaxed its vigilance to safeguard the amateur
writers and free the legitimate publishers
from a most undesirable parasite on the side-
lines.

Co-operating with the Chamber of Commerce
is the Music Publishers’ Protective Association,
which, under the direction of E. C. Mills,
chairman of the executive board, is doing all

against

it can to keep the alleged publisher from
getting the amateur’s money, with ultimate,
detrimental effects on the legitimate music
man.

Much literature is being continually dis-

tributed by the Chamber of Commerce and to
this will be added shortly additional pam-
phiets put out by the M. P. P A., in which
will be incorporated a recent interview given
by Miils on song sharks. It ts hoped, in time,
that all amateur and aspiring song writers will
be sufficiently acquainted with the literature
intended for their benefit and that all will
read about the swindler and his methods.

The Gene Rodemich Musie Publishing Cor-
poration has been formed, with New York of-
fices at 150 West 46th street and St. Louis
headquarters in the Grand Central Theater

Tenny and White aren’t far from being a
pennant-winning battery of songland. Both boys
have an admirable style of delivery,
good voices and make a fine appearance. One
of the team functions at the piano but doesn't
give any solos on that instrument.

The men open with ‘California, Here I
Come", to which they have added a lot of
nteresting ‘‘Hard-Hearted Hannah" js
put across in grand style by the young chap
who leans on the piano, and “It Ain't Gonna
Rain No More" follows with both of the boys
getting ip a lot of fine harmony. The pianist

with “I Wonder What's Become of
Sally"’ and the other chap returns to do a
comedy number, ‘‘Has Anyone Seen Heine’’.

Somerville Players Open

Crack Company Received With Great Enthusi-
asm in Season’s First Offering,

“Polly Preferred”

Boston, Sept. 2.--Clyde McArdle, manager of

he Somerville Theater, Somerville, has been
called the man who brought Broadway to Davy
Square. He well deserves the title, as a v
to his playhouse will prove There are play
of real Broadway caliber in this s ns « -
pany, and the plays to be offered the patrons
during the season are all recent Broadway bits.
The first bill, ‘‘Polly Preferred’, w h
opened yesterday, was re iow gr n-
thusiasm. There were long and loud demonstra-
tions of welcome to the returning players, Frank
Thomas, Philip Sheffiel: Busby Berkeley,
Wiliam Florence and Frank Peck, while the
new members also were given a hearty greeting.

There were flowers, and spreches flowed fr

The new leading players, Edward Clarke
Lilley and Mary Ann Dentler, are a sure-fire
combination. Lilley is a widely experienced,

well-seasoned actor; 4q t, smooth and con-
vincing; a thoroly likable fellow. Miss
Dentler is bound to be liked under any ¢

cumstances. She is
pealing, and her acting is clear-cut,
fascinating. Her performance as ‘Polly’? ful
bears out the reports that she is one of tl
best leading women in stock.

Another outstanding new member is Harold
Moulton. He is an excellent type of the dish-
ing, romantic matinee idol, with a manner, ap-
pearance and voice that distinguish him and
undoubtedly will carry him to the heights in
due course.

Frank Thomas, Somerville favorite, is one of
the main features in the current offering. As
the effeminate and*eccentric moving picture

SEEN ON BROADWAY

By ELIZABETH KINGSTON
Juana Allaram, late of the Mission Players,
Los Angeles, Calif., has been seen frequently
during the past week on the Rialto renewing
acquaintances,

Esther Sommers, late ingenue-leads of the
Hollywood Stock Company, is one of the most
personally attractive stock players to be seen
on Broadway, and many admiring glances follow
her as she wends her way along.

Henry O'Neil, former leading man of the
Copley Players in Boston, is now in town pre-
paring to join Billy MecCart in vaudeville.

Robert Sherman is evidently as familiar with
Times Square as he is with the ‘“Loop’’ in
Chicago, which he recently left to come here
for business negotiations.

Mildred Dana is in town in the interest of
the Colonial Players at the Colonial Theater
Lawrence, Mass. Her youth, beauty and p s-
ing personality are set off to great advantage
by gowns that enhance her girlishness wonder-
fully well,

Tnlie R. Hurley, that grand old lady of pro-
ns, stock and films, who has gained an
e reputation for her “‘mother’ cherac-

ter tions, is one of the fast-stepping fen

ances he is seen on Broadway as an exponent
of stock.

Frederic Clayton has started a new fad for
the *“‘Beau Brummells” by the adornment of bi
coat lapel with a violet aster whenever he
strolls along Broadway.

Better Plays Make

Season Successes

Few Failures Along Repertoire
Highway When Merit Pre-
dominates in Offerings

The 1924 tented season soon will he over.
It is near and dear to the
safe to
trip along the threatrica

memories of manr—
say to the majority—for the
1 highway in most in-

t is
is

stances has been a successful one: there is
but little wreckage of failures to be seen as
one looks back. True, too trne, there have
been failures, but fallures in all walks of life
ire inevitable, ty «6the greatest number of

companies it is

toire

admitted the season for re per-
companies has been one of the very best.

Repertoire cdmpanies and traveling troupes

have learned more than ever this season that
the public, even in the most remote hamlets
and towns, can he fooled some of the time but

not all of the time: that the “some” time
has passed and now the best is demanded when
good, bard-earned cash is paid out in exchange
for a seat in the tented theater or the house
And so the type of plays selected at the early
part of the season was only the best in about

ninety-five per cent of managerial dealings.
The result was the reward in the amount of
business done at the stands along the way.
The result also was the appreciation shown by
customers during the presentation, and the
satisfied crowds homeward bound after the
night’s performance. The five per cent man-

”

ager—the man who bought poor plays, “‘cheap
in their proper classification—was the person
who today will probably disagree with this ar-
ticle, declaring business has been rotten;
voicing statements that many townspeople ab-
solutely refuse to patronize the traveling show,
the repertoire troupe.

That manager is right in his way, but it
is strictly his own affair thru and thru.
His failure of the season can be blamed to
no one but himself, for he is the one who at-
tempted to put one over on the public by
buying cheap, degrading plays and demanding
that the people in his roster ‘“‘sell them” as
repertoire offerings of the better kind.

Looking into our files, however, we are
pleased to find that there were but few such
managers, which brings the rating of com-

pany seasonal successes up to a high standard,
in fact one of the highest in years. We find
the scripts, for the most part, have been those
with earmarks of being once a Broadway pres-
entation, frequently a Broadway snecess And
so We are only too well aware that tho Broad-
Way has never been seen by thousands of per-
sons who “out in the sticks’’, as the ar-
tiste conversationalist says, these people even-
tually see what Broadway has seen at one time
or another, and before many moons come and
pass.

We are advocating better plays for repertoire
companies for the next Presentation

ment of traveling shows, All

pany is striving to be.

a company, but several are especially

standing. If good bills are put on, a one-night
stand company invariably will be welcomed
back into the corporate limits of Pineville to
play two or three more nights. If dates are
opel Pineville folk will insist the company
rema on the lot to satisfy their yearning
sou for respectable and inspiring entertain-
ment, and a longer “‘stand’’ will result. On
the other ind, compat playing week stands
have every char the world to be invited
back to Sunnys 1 during season, to
traverse their same route year after year.

We have in mind a repertoire company which
played in e Midwest several years ago and
still is in the game, but now working new
territory This company started as a one-
nighter. Traveling was done by train, and
the appaarunces made in town halls and
small theaters. For a season, two seasons,
the one-night plays were presented and the
usual irry-up packing of scenery, costumes
and makeup took place. Jumps were often
short distanced, but train connections, mostly
at night, were available, so the troupe rode

in coaches and

of Martin B. Hale, Cincinnatian. This depart-
ment welcomes comment of this nature, since
very often it is enlightening to p in the

profession and enables them to exchange ideas

on various subjects. Mr. Hale's letter follows

“Much has been said about the cheap shows
but not by the men who run them. I am
asking the question not because I care what

they eharge, but why put the price down to a
dime when you can get twenty-five cents just
as well? You are just helping to kill the

good old repertoire game in time to come.

“Another question. Can a man carry thirty
people, or whatever it takes to have at least
a ten-piece band and a seven-piece orchestra,

a real acting cast and a show, for ten cents
on the front door and make it pay?

“It is a fact that some shows with just a
piano player and a small east and very little
vaudeville charge a dime and keep going. But
eandy sales instead of vaudeville acts bore
audiences.

“In the good, old ten, twenty and thirty
days we had people, good teams at from $40
to S60 per week; musicians from 415 to $25,

and railroad travel was cheap, tie license wa

FUSSNER STOCK COMPANY

Hit by Terrific Wind and Rainstorm
in Birdseye, Ind.

The Fussner Stock Company was hit by a
terrific wind and rainstorm when it slaved? in

Birdseye, Ind., two weeks ago. The tent was
blown off the lot while a performance
was being pre ed to @ capacity crowd. The
storm hit without much warning. It was sheer
good fortune, writes Art Newman of the com-
pany, that no one was injured. The tent top
was badly torn, however, and it took four of
the bors seven hours to sew and repa'r the
damaged canopy.

The company continued to Huntington, Ind.,

ind there found the townsfolk very kindly and
hospitable. The picture theater had been stand-
ing idle for before the troupe
arrived it was put into presentable condition by
volunteer workers and the Fussner Company
nvited to entertain therein. Needless to
add, the theater was used. The Fussners turned
away many after all available space, luding
the aisles, had been turned into seating room
Then, to top it all, the theater owner refused
to take a single cent of rent for the two nights
the company stayed.

Eddie Cole, Mr. Fussner’s partner, suffered a

JUNIOR MUSIC
CLUB CONTEST

Pronounced a Success at
Missouri State Fair

To the State of Missouri the honor of
being the pioneer in instituting Junior Musical

goes

Club contests as a feature at the annnal fair
One of the biggest strides that Missouri has
shown thru the State Fair this year lies in the

inauguration of a contest among the Junior
Music Clubs of the State, and according to
those in charge of the contest it has been
an encouraging beginning. In conducting this
contest the State Fair Committee co-operated
with the Missouri Federation of Musieal Clubs,
and Mrs. C. C. Evans, of Sedalia, Mo., was
superintendent of the entire program, It was
deeply regretted that thru illness Mrs. Evan
could not take charge during the fair. Mrs.
FE. F. Yancey served in her place. The State
Fair was held the third week in Angnst, at
Sedalia, Mo., and the Junior contest began
August 19

At the opening of the first program sev-
eral State officials of the Federation of Musie

Clubs of Missouri made short talks
the Junior work in the State and praised the
work that had been done by the Missouri State
Fair. Mrs. Abbie L. Snoddy, of Mexico, Mo.,
president of the Missouri Federation of Music
Clubs, who was one of the judges, expressed
her satisfaction with the spirit shown in the
contest, ‘This example,”® she said, ‘‘will be
followed by many States in the near future,

concerning

no doubt.’’ Lucy K. Peery, of St. Joseph,
State chairman of the Junior contest, explained
that one of the purposes of the contest was
to teach fundamentals in musie and to give
children encouragement to go on. ‘Such com-
petitions as these have shown recognition of
the artistic and spiritual side of life as well
as the material.’”’ Ordinarily, according to
Miss Peery, only children belonging to the

Federated Clubs may enter these contests, but
in this case the contest was open to all children
in the State.

There were twenty-seven entrants in all the
contests conducted by the Missouri State Fair,
and this, according to those in charge, Was a
very good beginning and, no doubt, the

snec-

cessful results will cause a large number to
enter in coming years. This year’s contests
were held for two classes in piano, one class
up to and including children of eleven years
of age and the second class of from twelve
to fourteen years of age. There were two
classes in violin, the first np to and “luding

thirteen of age, the second from four-
teen to seventeen years of age: one section in
musicianship confined to children not older
than ten years of age: one section in harp and
one in violin choir, the latter open to c}
of grammar-school age. In each of these sec-
tions the children were required to play three
numbers from memory.

The judges were Mrs. Anna Huerman

years

ldren

Hamil-

ton, State field worker of the Junior werk;
Mrs. A. L. Snoddy, of Mexico, Mo., president
of the Missouri Federation of Music Clubs: Mrs
Newkirk, Warrensburg, and Lucy K. Peery,
St. Joseph, Mo. In discussing the resnits Mrs.
Yancey stated the contestants showed very
good preparation and ability in appearing be-
fore an andience and the competition was so
keen that in several instances the same prize
had to be awarded to two and three con-
testants,

Winners in the younger piano section are
as follows: First prize, $10, Clara Blitz, Kan-
sas City; second prize, $5, Alberta Roach,
Sedalia; third prize $2, Winifred Henderson,
Sedalia; Christine Robison, Sedalia, and Barbara
Burke, Kansas City; fourth priz r nD,

Elizabeth Welch, Chillicothe. Several of ese

children have already won prizes in other com-

petitions and have promised to enter at t
State Fair next rear.

Winners in the older class in piano are:
First prize, $10, Bernice Lach, Kansas Cit
and Elden LaMar, Kansas C i pr

TWENTY-FIVE PER CENT

Increase in Attendance at Hollywood
Bowl Concerts

The 1924 season of summer concerts at the
Hollywood Bowl closed with the program pre-
sented by Director Hertz Thursday evening
August 30. The season has been the most sy
cessful in its history, both in point of ar.

tendance and from a standpoint of music. A
cording to Mrs. J. J. Carter, president of ¢

Hollywood Bowl Association, the attends
has been 25 per cent greater than last year
Noted artists and composers have been featured

during the summer, among them being Amelita
Galli-Curci, for whose concert the huge Hol!;
wood Bowl was not large enough to take car
f the enormous audience which came from al!

or

sections of Callffornia; Arthur Bliss, Eng
composer and conductor, appeared at a

cert to direct his ‘Color Symphony"; I
Graveure was soloist at two concerts, and
so pleased the audiences that several encores
had to be given. A particularly interesting
evening was that termed “Community Sing

Night’’ as the program was in the nature of a
welcome home

to Hugo Kirschhofer, poy
song leader of Southern California, who hal
just returned from the East. The Hollywood!
Bowl Association attributes to the “Community
Sing’’ held in Los Angeles in the last few
years much of the success of the Bow! con-
certs, and at this special program Arthur Fa

(COMMUNICATIONS TO OLB NEW YORK OFFICES)

Mutual Chorister School
Now Established Success

President Herk Convinced Desired Results Have
Been Obtained—Official Associates Endorse
His Management and Methods

New York, Sept. 5.—It matters little who
was the original propagandist for a sehool for
choristers that would enable them to advance
themselves thru study and practice to under-
study principals and in time become one of
them, The fact remains that the propagandist
kept hammering away at his pet hobby until
be was finally successful in impressing its
practicability on both the executives of the
Columbia Amusement Company and the Mutual
Burlesque Association until separate and dis-
tinctive schools have been established by both
associations for the betterment of burlesque in
general, —

We have carried several articles commending
the Columbia Amusement Company for its finan-
cial sponsoring of the Columbia Burlesque
School of Dancing and Instruction at 1658
Broadway, under the management of Dan Dody.

The aforementioned propagandist suggested
a plan to President Herk during the past
summer for a similar school to meet the
requirements of shows on the Mutual Cireuit,
and President Herk, with his well-known
wisdom, took it under consideration and
readjusted the plan to meet the special require-
ments of Mutual Burlesque, with the result
that he is now firmly convinced that he has
obtained the desired results,. which are fully
endorsed by his official associates jn the Mutual
Burlesque Association, which at the present
time include several theatrical magnates
whose names do not appear on the roster of
officials but who are taking an active interest
in President Herk'’s novel and unique methods
for further stabilizing houses and shows on the
Mutual Circuit, with a view of further financing
an expansion that wll in time include fifty-
two cities and fifty-two shows that will operate
during the entire year.

When The Billboard gave the first intimation
of this alliance a year ago the skeptics sm led
and the would-be ‘‘wisenheimers’’ of burlesque
looked upon it as propaganda in the personal
interest of Herk, but facts are stranger than
fiction, and it is now very evident to all that
I. H. Herk is becoming a bigger factor than
ever in theatricals,

We are indebted to Charles P. Salisbury,
chief of the Mutual Burlesque Association
press department, for a review of conditions
appertaining to the school for choristers
operated in the interest of Mutual Circuit
shows, viz.:

Don Leno Schooling Choristers

Officials of the Mutual Burlesque Association
are so greatly pleased with the result of their
radical departure from all precedent in forming
the choruses of their thirty-six shows this
season that President Herk announces an exten-
sion of the plan under conditions that will
insure permanency. Early last spring Don
I . the famous old English comedian and
who has for some years conducted a
or instruction in stage dancing, was
to train several classes of girls, from

1s proposed to select the best looking

¢

an t dancers for the choruses of
Mu Leno’s long experience enabled
him to classify the applicants for this
gratuit truction, with the result that

by midsumr separate groups of twenty-four
each were in rehearsal under the direction of
the various roducers of Mutual shows, but
under the constant supervision of Leno himself.
When the season opened Mutual’s shows were
provided with choruses that have been the
subject of wonderfully complimentar efer-
ences tp newspaper reviews of their perform
ances, and some of these have been favorably
compared with the Tiller groups from Londor

“We have received so many reports from
local managers in which they have praised
not only the appearance but the splendid work

of our choruses, said President Herk tod

t we ha placed Don Leno under contr:
to give sy] i] truction to such young lad
is he may m time ti sel to prepa
them for positions in our various shows. Altho
the season is not far advanced, we have } ad
two or three occas’ons to make m r« ges
in the personnel of our companies and, in ev
instance, we have promoted girls from t
runks of tl! ( us to vacancies created
have been ha: pil surprised with the hig
@verage of intelligence man‘fest in our chorus
and delizhted to find ar g the girls many w
not « . a re to ’ t but who ar
physically ind vocally equiy 1 to give a
good account of themselves in principal roles
on short notice Mr. Leno has been asked to
eve precedence in his classes to girls who
have naturally good veices, and we propose to
include a course of vocal instruction for those
v evidence a desire to perfectly equip them-

selves for a stage career.

“Our experience has convinced us,’’ continued
Mr, Herk, ‘“‘that there are, in all of the
cities of our circuit, young women who are
serious in their ambition to adopt the stage as
ofession, and our local managers will be
requested to give hearings to those who apply
for admission to our school It is not our
intention te keep large numbers of girls in
rehearsal during the winter months, but to have
constantly at hand a few girls fully competent
to replace those who, for any reason, leave our
employ, Next summer we will undoubtedly
require many additional choristers to complete

our companies and we anticipate no difficulty

in filling the classes of our school with candi-
dates for the positions who w'll meet the high
standard at which we shall aim.’’

Mr. Herk declared that by far the greatest
number of vacancies in the ranks of Mutual
choruses were occasioned by marriage. He
ob erved that the few weeks between Thanks-
giving Day and Christmas gave him the great-
est concern on the score of resignations. “But
we will be well fortified to replace the girls
Who prefer home life to a stage career this
season,”* concluded Mr. Herk with a grin,
“altho we realize that the superior attractive-
ness of our girls will increase the percentage
of marriages this winter.”

BABE QUINN

Daughter of Distinguished Theatrical
Parents, Who Has Made Good
as a Vaude. Artiste and
Burlesquer

“Babe”, as she is known to her professional
associates, may have some other name, in all
probability has, but we have never heard
applied to her,

Be that as it may, “Babe’® was born in
Brighton, England, where her father, Charles
Laurie, was a noted actor in animal character
izations, appearing at the Drury Lane Theater
London, where ‘‘Babe’s’’ mother also appeared
as a premiere toe dancer in pantomimes an!
where “Babe’’, in person, appeared at the ag:
of four.

Coming to this country when ‘Babe’ w
eight years of age, the Laurie family took to
vaudeville and ‘‘Babe’’ accompanied them in
their act for several years, or until she was
old enough to take part in *‘The Babes in the
Wood"? at Niblo’s Garden, New York City,
where she remained an entire season.

At the age of fourteen ‘‘Babe’’ became a
single in vaudeville and her petite personality
talent and ability as a kiddie performer
received just recognition in extensive bookings

Tiring of traveling alone, she next joined her
sisters in the well-known vaudeville act titled
“The Laurie Sisters’ Kid Act’’, and continued
with them over the Fox Time for four years

Meeting and marrying George Quinn, former
vaude, artiste, now an agent in New York City,
“Babe? became identified with the vaudeville
act of Lester-Quinn-Laurie on the Keith Time.

Later Friend Husband George and “Babe”
did a double act under the name of Quinn and
Quinn on the Keith Time,

When the opportunity was offered friend
husband to establish an agency in New York
City ‘Babe’’ decided to give up the road and
became identified with the B. F, Kahn Union
Square Burlesque Stock Company in New York
City.

With the closing of the Union Square
Theater “Babe”? joined John Pearsal's ‘‘Bring-
ing Up Father’? and went from there to
burlesque on the Mutual Circuit with James
Madlison's “Baby Bears’’, under the manage-
ment of Gus Kahn for one season, and was in
“Gus Fay'’s Folly Town" for one season.

“Rabe’’ is now the Dresden Doll Soubret of
Oppenheimer & Myers’ “Miss New York, Jr.”,
which is reviewed in this issue. NELSE.

Jewel, an intellectual, refined-app:aring pr ma
donna with an exceptionally sweet voice that

is Josephine Davis, a comedienne and sw
singer of character songs. The last two named
women are ev dently finds of Bert Jonas, the
vaudeville agent, who is casting new people
for the Apollo in hopes that Broadway pr
ducers, out of curiosity, will drop in to se
the girls and book them thru Bert for pro-
ductions where they rightfully belong.

“Fifi’, the oriental dancer who was a bé
drawing card at the Olympic Theater, 14!)
street, for many consecutive weeks, is appar
ently Minskys’ strongest attraction, for the)
have billed her extensively, including cards 9
street cars, and ‘Fifi’ gave the audience firs!
a glimpse of her gorgeous golden cape and
then discarded the cape to give them a closeup
view of her voluptuous form, not in the oriental
dances expected, but jn a classical Spanish

“Fifi evidently sensed the locale and
danced accordingly.

No one will dispute Joe Rose's ability to
produce and present burlesque stock, and he
did himself proud as far as the production of
the opening show, for the scenic and lighting
effects were far above par for stock and the
comedy ‘‘bits’’ were sure-fire hits. Let it be
said to the credit of the company in general
that they sensed the difference in the locality
and patronage and conducted themselves ac-
cordingly But Rose, not content wth ;leasing
the Hlarlemites who had drifted in out of
curiosity, went out of his way to please thr
moral degenerates from the lower East Side

action that will, if continued, jeopardize the

Foreign Actors Must Join Equity

HE exact status of foreign actors who may
T come to this country, whether engaged

abroad or not, was decided at a meeting
of the Equity Council August 26.

All managers, whether members of the Mana-
gers’ Protective Association or producing as In-
dependents, were informed of this action in
letters sent out by Equity’s Assistant Executive
Secretary. The letter read as follows:

“The Council at its meeting held Tuesday,
August 26, 1924, passed the following resolu-
tion:

***Moved, seconded and carried that the As-
sistant Executive Secretary send a letter to all
Indes ndent Producing Managers as Weil as the
Managers’ Protective Association advising them
of the conditions under which English actors
should be engaged when engagements are ne
gotiated in foreign countries The feeling of
the Council was that the managers should in-
form the actors that if they were not members
of the English Actors’ Association it would be
necessary for them to take out membership in
the Actors’ Equity Association upon their ar-
rival here.’

“We were instructed to inform all producing
Managers of this action, and are accordingly
addressing this letter to you. If you will co-
operate with us as suggested in the resolution
above whenever you or your representative are
engaging actors in foreign countries (particu-
larly the English actor), it will avoid confusion
and misunderstanding. The foreign actor if he
understand thie tuation will not feel that he
is being imposed upon when he is requested to
become an Lquit wember, and the manager
will be meeting the conditions of the Inde-
pendent Equity Contract.

“We would appr an acknowledgment
of this letter our desire is to promote and
maintain harmonious relations between actor
and manager as well us to protect the interests
of both under the Equity contracts.”’

Similar letters were sent all English pro-
ducing managers in the West End Managers’
_Association, The Touring Managers’ Association,
also to the Actors’ Association and the editors
of The Stage and The Era.

Stage Hands Sign

We are informed that the threatened trouble
with the stage hands and musicians’ unions,
growing out of disputes over wage scales, has
been adjusted in the following cities: Boston,
Chicago, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Washington,
Cincinnati, St. Louis and Indianapolis. The
scales in several of the smaller towns have not
been adjusted, but continued conferences will
undoubtedly lead to a satisfactory and _ har-
monious settlement to all concerned before this
week ends. We understand that negotiations
for these new agreements were conducted on
the basis of two-year contracts. We are glad

indeed that these controversies have been ironed
out, for it permits the theatrical seaven to get
under way without jeopardizing t irly pro-

ductions, and means, we hope, a longer and more
prosperous seuson for manager, actor, stage
band and musician. With the adoption of con
actory to all, the theatrical season
of 1924-25 should be a banner one in spite of
it being Presidential year.

will be well started on a run or have moved
on before the important critics get around to

slobe recently declared:
“Evidently the present dispute between the
actors and the managers will not end, as the
first split did some years ago, with a dramat

climax After the playhouses had been closed
for some weeks the trouble was suddenlly set-

tled, and within a few heurs the car of Bacchus
Was again traveling at its accustomed rate of
speed No such sudden and definite

seems likely to heal the present rupture

“Equity has united with Fic
it has recently lared that the Fidelity goats
may act in the same compinies with the Equity
lambs and be none the worse for the experience.
The Producing Managers’ Association still ex-
ists, and so does the more recently formed
Managers’ Protective Association. In spite of
the declarations of the so-called ‘Round Robin’
managers who represent the picturesque old
guard, enterprise is not at a standstill.

the Equity in admitting Fidelity actors to the

Sam H. Harris, another ally of the Round Robin
group, is up to his neck in preparations for

lingham never had more ambitious plaus for

acquainted with all the politics of the situation
to realize that there really is any trouble in
the theater today, especially since Mr. Shubert
and his allies made their peace with the actors
long ago. Their activities have never been in-

With this last paragraph it is not WW

for Equity to agree Altho it is true that

complete Equity hop, it was wholly a i

$137,000,000 for Year’s Movies

A $137,000,000 program of film play produ
tion and building activities bas been arranged
for the coming year by motion picture cones
operating in and about Los Angel according

to an announcement recently made by Joseph
H. Schenck, president of the Motion Picture
Producers’ Asvociation.

Of this amount Schenck said $72,000,000 will
be spent in the production of the 680 pictures
scheduled for filming during the year and the
remainder on new buildings and equipment,

This announcement is the essence of optt-

me and
The sunshine j

uudant,

i drawing to a close, my m
euds wupted to send a flood of sunsbin
that came straight from their hearts, It
warmed my beart and I welcomed its golden
warmth with the same eagerness that the early

id welcomes the kiss of the sun on a chilly
-pring morning. I count it one of the blessings

of my affliction that bas brought me this

rare

and priceless friendship which has enriched
me more than could all the wealth of the
world.

Another thing that pleased me very much
was the kindly interest shown by my readers
" @ statement recently made in this column

about my going to the hospital again. In an-
swer to the flood of letters I want to say tha
the time is still indefinite, but I am not going
because my condition has grown alarming It
has remained pretty much the same except that
1 have suffered a little more pain on rainy
and very warm days. If course, I am still
obliged to sit up every minnte of the day and
night and cannot leave my bed for even a
moment. The doctors think there is much to
be done and they want to try again. {i don't
think ['ll have to give up my weekly chat
vith you I am in the hospital for that
will be a great comfort to me.

Did rou ever listen to the strains of a piano-

struments in years and did not realize how
much musi¢ could be gotten out of them until
one day last week, when I was treated to a
recital in my room by ‘‘Monde’ thru tbe
courtesy of William J. Reichard, an artist's

representative of Reading, Ta. “Monde”, a
young man with a pleasing personality, can
play a popular jazz number or a classic over-
‘ure in a way that stamps him as an artist,
and J] shall remember his recital long and
pleasantly. He has just finished several new
records for the Columbia Phonograph Com-
pany and if you have never been introduced
to the piano-accordion, get a record by
**Monde"’.

IT received a number of photographs showing
the bome and gardens of Ethel Bain, one of
my readers who lives in a pretty suburb in

Connecticut, just across the State line. Miss
Bain has been sending me flowers from her
lovely gardens for some time, and since I

can't visit in person, sbe wanted me to 6ee

where they come from.
The fact that Violet Patterson lives way out
in Davenport, Ia., didn’t prevent her from

sending me a gorgeous bouquet of gladioli by
telegraph and ther were a feast for my eyes

for several days. She also writes the clever-
est of cheery letters and lots of them.
When “The Swan’ opens again in New
York to resume its successful run, this time
at the Empire, Hilda Spong will not be in th
cast. She has gone into retirement in Fran
and the American stage loses an actress of

sterling qualities.

VIENNA

By BARNETT BRAVERMAN
Care Fremden Buro, Wiener Bank Verein
(American Express Co.)

IENNA. Aug. 15.—If I were Engen
V O'Neill I would withdraw “Anna
Christie” from Luro) ean production,
unless a glutton for punishment, Despite the
tion by one of Re irdt's regisseurs at
Josef Stadtes Theater, where ‘Anna

‘ wu played tand produced = during
rdt’s absence), this drama by O'Neill

led to register with Vienna’ theatergoers

I dea of a roughneck, bDlustering ship stoker
love wit a woman of the streets is naive

t Viennese who are familiar with far
e thrilling subtleties and episedes in the
emotions between men and women than is
evident in “Anna Christie’’. When it is
realized that the Viennese are accustomed to
such fare aS Wedekind and Strindberg, it is

Homolka, while he played his part (the father

As for the settings, the coal barge had sails,

the interior of the saloon was more like that

Dieterle, Homolka, others of the cast and

of O'Neill's play. It just happens that the
European mind in these parts has been fed

O'Neill: If you want punishment and like it,

play it only on the American and English speak-

The Billboard

SEPTEMBER 13, 1924

Picked Up by the Page

The Page is just an ordinary human being
who responds to kindlines Vanity not
principal vice, but who would not glow with a
sense of pride to have |! vacation period
emphasized by the appearance of nice, ndly
stories jn the papers of the towr Dn h

ne happened to visit? The Pittsburg jour:
ts were, without exception, very generou in

their praise of the writer and the manner in
‘ich he, with the co-operation of themselve
und the assistance of J. R. B. WHITNEY of
tte NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION, W. C. KIL-
PATRICK of the CARAVAN and WILFRED
CARR, handled the press room of the Ma
conventions. As stated, they were all 3 e to
us, but THE PITTSBURG AMERICAN, thro
Columnist JOHN CLARK, whom we have never
knowingly seen, paid your humble servant the
finest tribute that has ever been accorded us,
In a five-inch story he complimented our work,
concluding with the statement that ‘*We didn't
meet Jackson, but we saw his work and it
Was good. THANKS, CLARK. Hope to meet
you some day, and to always merit your
approval.

Another part of our vacation was spent in
the vicinity of New Haven, Conn., and there
We rose to the dignity of being interviewed by
Mr.‘ Barker, editor of The Sunday Union, a
paper of general circulation, That was a
pleasure since it enabled us to tell the world
something about showfolks and tbe amusement
world and some things that may not be as well
known as they might be. Want to tell you how
it came about. ,

Most of us remember HARRISON STEWART,
who passed to his reward in 1918 after a career
that established his name in a high place in
the history of the Negro show world. He
Was one of the PEKIN THEATER cast, in
Chicago, which means one of the troupe that
played in the first Race theater of the country.
Harrison’s younger brother is a fellow wh
is doing in journalism precisely the same sort
of thing that the deceased did in theatrical!
HE IS MAKING A NAME AND PLACE FOR
HIMSELF.

DANIEL HARRISON edits a page in th:
Sunday edition of THE NEW HAVEN DAIL\
UNION. He is the Connecticut representative
eof THE CHICAGO DEFENDER and operates
THE ASSOCIATED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES,
a concern that provides office facilities for the
small but. growing group of Negro business
people of New Haven. He bas both busines
sagacity and literary ability. These are sup-
plemented by the possession of a most interest-
ing and intelligent »oung wife, whose traini
in the schools and atmosphere of Durham, °
C., tells a story of correctly blended academic
training and the domestic arts. They have a
pair of lovable children. So you see that Don
Harrison just must make good. With ail these
ipterests that were of more importance he
took time to engineer our meeting with the
Union. A boy lke that car’t fail.

The MAJESTIC HOTEL, at West Haven
conducts Wednesday and Saturday night danc«
for the entertainment of guests. We don't
dance any more, but a former member of a
dancing act is bound to appreciate good music,
so it was but netural that we would inquire
as to the orchestra Hence we take pleasure
in introducing to you the CHARTER OAK OR-
CHESTRA, of HARTFORD, Conn., a well-bal-
anced seven-piece combination composed of
MARVIN GURLEY HERBERT JOHNSON,
LOUIS MILLS, PAUL BURNETT, HENRY GUR-
LEY and CHARLES JENNINGS. Their mus
and the New Haven girls almost made us 4
regard the fallen arches and try to be a boy
again. However, we yielded not to temptation
and all is well.

Then we met the THREE Ms, a trio of local
entertainers whose ability to present an eve-
ning’s program is attested by the frequency
with which these ladies play dates in surround-
ing towns.

MILDRED RUBY, pianiste; MAMIE L.
HOVE, saxophone soloist, and MARY F, SIM
MONS, @ singer and Indian impersonator, make
the trio. hey present a Lyceum type of
program of ten nimbers that is good. Mrs.
mons is ambitious to try vaude

I big surprise of our vacation was the new
SRITE-MOORE HOTEL at Bridgeport, ¢

ry building containing a n off
beautifully finished grill room, a model kité
en with correct! miformed cooks and wait-

ers, four private dining rooms and twenty-six
clean and newly equipped bedrooms, manuged
by a pair of young men both experienced in
catering to the re —s nts of Yale stud
describes the place. grill has bee ‘ }
for a month, and the hotel went into e
labor Day. RB. L. BRIGHT and E. M. MOORE
are the proprietors. DAVE and TRESSIE
the first guests. Their mment and our own
experience gives every reason to ant ipate
house becoming the regular rendezvous of
profession playing
for tourists from New Y

With the vacation thing all over, we returned
home to learn that the LEONARD HARPER
office is on the hum with the training of a
half dozen white acts, the build ne of a n
colored foor show and EDDIE GREEN working

WORSE AND MORE OF IT
Not content with having brought pgs
venience upon the many worth-wh
played on tbe Columbia Barlesqu
Circuit st s« son, one of the teams that coul
not find further chance to do harm there ha
now just about ruined the opportuni
colored ects over the Bert Levy Time, acccord-
ing to recent letters on the subject

Word has been sent out canceling the book

ings of nearly a score of colored acts over a
Circuit that has long been a recognized standby
for these folks, all because hx

ise managers
and hotel people would rather deciine every
Negro act than take the trouble to notice

it most of them differ from the team
lluded = to. In fact, most of the colored
acts look upon these boys and their conduct
with precisely the same degree of contempt
do others. “Gang’’ Jines, of Jines and Jacque
line, one of the acts to suffer this unmerited
cancellation s especially incensed at t
team that has been so Jacking in self-respect
as to violate HNquor laws, public sentiment and
to practice the most flagrant sort of disorderly
conduct

The proper protection of the right to live
nd earn a livelihood in thelr profession almost
demands that the private Lives of the colored
performers must be investigated before they
can get bookings, all because a few moron
decline to recognize the most simple professional
and | yoal reesneng

Managers, please believe that there are few
worthless Negroes ae as the type who bave
been responsible for these difficulties. Don't
punish the worthy for these. Instead get rid
of the rotters by declining to give them work
There are but few of them as compared with
the great group of self-respecting Negro per-
formers who merit your consideration. Don't
nd-ct a whole Race for a few bad ones,

ELKS IN PITTSBURG

The Elks’ convention in Pittsburg was em-
phasized by the presence of no less than thirty
brass bands in the most spectacular paral
that city has witnessed in years. More than
000 of the members of the I B. PP. O
“iks of the World registered at the conv:
on by Tuesday on the week of the conven

J. Finley Wilson, who was re-elected grand
exalted ruler, has no less than twenty-six

New York provided a special train of more
than twenty cars that ran over the P. R. Rh

by a trainload of antlered ones. The next

BUSY IN PARIS

Earl Granstaff, tromboedian, has been in
Paris for six months and has at last found
time to send a spicy letter Along with the
letter came several new papers that serve to
convey the story of his more practical act
ties, From them we learn that he is a patron
ot the fist art, having been among tho
present when Larry Estridge made his debut
in Paris; that he is the promoter and organizer
of the jazz band baseball team, that he has
appeared before the King and Queen of Spain
and is a general favorite with night club
patrons of Gay Paree, It took four newspapers
to tell the story,

The Cheathams Band, which played Pittsburg
Pa., with the Quintard Miller Show, has re
turned to Cleveland, 0., where it will play
dates.

In se Mr. Hays doesn't know it, I take it upon myself to inform him
that t obvious reason for Famous Players-Lasky not rushing into print with

it was his own fault, not Famous Players-Lasky’s.
The trend of Mr. Hays’ remarks was to show that the exhibitors were

A circus which has not visited Greater Cin-
Cinnati in eight years was Sells-Floto, which
held forth on the Cummineville lot Labor Day
and in Norwood the following day It was in
1916 that this show last appeared in this
vicinity, being in Newport, Ky., June 7 and in
Norwood June §

The Selis-Flote s, under the efficient man-
ee of Zach "rerrell, was welcomed br Cin
cinn I}

ik nd did r good) business con-
sidering the fa that it rained Monday night,
September 1, and that the second day Was partly

cloudy

time by this circus, jn fact t w the geet e
“white-top’’ aggregation w h has ‘showed !
that suburh ths seas¢ The show had close

Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 2.—With the last
sh ne f the fireworks spectacle Saturday
night the 1924 Wisconsin State Fair closed. De-
spite the fact that attendance and receipts fell

behind the records of other years the fair made
ion t satisfactory record

e this year was 222,885, as

, last year. The gate re-

ceipts were $95 5,010.35, as compared with

Saturday's attendance was 20,394, as against
22.484 on the closing day last year. Gate re-
eipts Saturday were $10,620.70, while on the
losing day last year they were $11,337.90.

Perhaps the most outstanding thing about the
fair this year was the fact that the farmer Was
not there rhat is why the attendance fell
The wonderful weather of fair week was irony,
for it was weather which cut down fair attend-
ance

“The fair all around was one of the best we
ever have offered,’ said John D. Jones, Jr., com-
missioner of agriculture, Saturday night. ‘Most
departments set a record for entries. In view
of conditions, the attendance was wholly satis-
factory.”’

Oliver E. Remey, secretary, said:

‘The weather was one of the State Fair
best exhibits, yet economic conditions, and som
other factors which I do not wish to discuss,
kept the attendance down The gross receipts,

however, despite the los of the antomobile
irger than fn 1923

“Patron re of the opinion that the 1924
State Fair was the best Wisconsin ever has pre-

nted. Vatrons should be the court of last re-
sort in this matter

“Many representatives of other fairs, includ
he president of the Minnesota State Fair
and secretaries of fifteen other State Fairs, wert
here during the week looking at the various de

virtmen

“While the Wisconsin State Fair is of high
ela and getting better each year t is by
means perfect Many things should be done t
mprove it ind IT hope that needed improve
ments will be made as soon as possible.

‘Th mv tenth State Fair as secretary,
and TI am proud of this Sate Fair as showing
continued progr ; und improvement.”*

‘he cones ons added as much to the tot !
receipts as in other vears, Which Is remarhka ly
good considering ndition according to Charl
llart, superintendent of privileges The con

‘ onair made no money this year, he said
because attendance was not very geod and peo
ple apparently had little money to spend.

rhe amusement park receipts are figured sep-

ons. Mr. Hart said

arate from the other cons
! ipts of $30,808.15 up

* park took in gross ree
to Thursday night, of wh

age amounted to $8,344.66 rior to fair weel

the park grossed $90,890.36, of whieh the fair
got $19,390.40. This makes total gross receipts
of $150,693.51 nee the amusement park open ad

July 4, giving the fair $27 855.06. Amusement
park receipts were $7,573.04 Monday, $8,260.47
' vesday, $9.69.64 Wednesday, and $14,000 (es-
timated) Thursday.

What is needed to m.ke the fair a success
on its new ground is wholehearted co-operation

between the Guild. or at any t tie London
section, and the corporation authoritics At
the present tim the corporation een to be
ntent on claiming sole rigit and dictatorial
power If the council would leave t 1dmini
tration and leasing of the fair entirely to the
Guild folk, who are quite capable of looking
after their end of the busir : t vuld b

One feature which is causing d tisfaction
in showland was the appearance of many econ

certainly could ot | i tickets if
led upon to do so The Guild is seeking to
establish the rule No Guild, no tober” but

gumes and doubtful shows ll be possible. Th

& Cas shows, which open a f days’ en-
xagement here Monday under ‘the auspi es of
the American Legion? Also have you ever

d given an amusement organization credit
for bringing into the city many hundreds of
folks from surrounding country, your mer-
ehants, restaurants and others reaping a fi
nancial benefit from same?

Just take for instance over four hundred
people alone erought into Red Wing for four
days’ time with rhe Morris & Castle Shows,
you knowing very well that it takes these
days at least three dollars per day for a_ per-
son to live. This makes over twelve hundred
alone turned loose in the city, saying nothing

of mayhe a few suits of clothes."

It would bave done your heart good (those of
the readers who hadn't# the opportunitr, of
course) to have attended the special perform
anee, detailed elsewhere in this issue, of the
Zeidman & Pollie Shows after closing

Someone sent Ali a “‘clipping’® from a paper

published at Easton, Pa. (title not given for
crediting’’), Which stated rm part, without go
ing into fact leading-up-to details of the oc-
currence. that ‘‘down in Maryland a member

of a carnival had shot and killed a citizen of

the town" Also “this city had a= similar
experience some time ago, and it will only
take a few more of the same occurrences and
there will be no more carnivals.’’ Surely the
writer of that last sentence did not mean ‘‘re-
quire’? in the use of the word “‘take’’ Does
he mean that two “carnival men” (if chey did
actually shoot othe. men) were the only ones
to commit murder in the States he mentions?
‘There will be no more carnivals’’ would take
in the whole United States—how many other
lines of business are represented in the killings
thrnout this or any other country? It's real
“rich’’ to read some of the ‘‘propaganda’’ pub-
lished,

Incidentally it was

eause of these

also stated:
interest of the carnival and
amusements have (the writer

*has''—Ali) been fighting the
caravans, but sure have (agar
‘“*has’’— Ali) a 6ine battle when ‘hey jal thes
stunts’ It the writer of that refers to The
Billboard, particularly “Carnival Caravans’’, he
or any one else could readily that any
“fight’’ staged is and has been for the cecogni
tion of the many good qualities of carnivals,
the counteracting of unjust propaganda hailed
against them by “other business interests and
on the whole for the uplift (instead of the
‘‘murdering’’) of a nation-wide amusement pro
fession. and doesn't relish being ridiculed in
its efforts by anyene particularly those of
biased opinions or purposes.

Thinks Circuses Should Give Notice
When Impossible To Hold Parades

Flgin, Ill., September 1, 1924.

Iditor The Billboard.
Sir—The Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus ex! bited

n 1 » parade was held. Thor isands
ad , re ntil one o'clock only to be
disappointed i f a messenger had
en nt to ‘ susiness district to
f t} peo parade could be
en tha circus exhibition

( rt » A > p.m... it would have

void ! dissat sfaction.

PO] told me that had a n » been give

ey would ive hurried home to lunch and
gone to og matinee,

When the Al G. Barnes Circus played Aurora
July 3, a 9 rald was sent around on horsebac k
and notified the people there would be no
parade and this relieved them.

Appeals for Assistance in Fight
for Freedom of Jack Clayton

Grabill, Ind., Ang. 5, 1924.
E ant The gon neg
Sir—I am taking the liberty of addressing
ve ou regard ng J “ke Clayton, a former trouper
who has met with misfortune, and who, I be-
lieve, is entitled to a'l the assistance his
f and acquaintances are able to give,
stance sought is not of a financial na
ture et consists of nothing that iv t

n who knows him cannot freely give with a
clear conscience
From the investig gation I have made of this
case I find that on “7 ly 6, 1923, Clayton, along
with another party, was arrested in Los Angeles
upon a charge of robbery. He stood trial, was
found guilty by a jury 1d on November 23,
1923, was ed to F m Prison,
n learning of the predicament in which
he was place® I made a thoro investigation
1 found the fo'lowing to be the exact status:
On the day mentioned Clayton and a party by
tt 1e — of Burnham were out driving with
vo yen, Lucille Hainlen and Jane Seten.
While. ‘driving toward the beach the machine
was stopped by two men who proceeded to rob
the entire party. I understand that the high-
warmen secured a watch and $87 in cash from
Clayton: S70 and some je y from Miss S-ten
d jewelry to the value of S300 from Miss
Ta nien. Later the t<wo men were arrested and
pleaded guilty to the charge and were sentenced.
Af the mie time the 1 trict Attorne v held
Clayton and Burnham as being implicated in the
bers notwithstanding he fact that the
two men insisted that they had nothing

» do with it Hfowever, they convineed the
’ that Clayton was implicated and sentenced
m also.
Clayton is a trouper He was formerly with
Tom Allen Shows, where he worked for
. Dan Odom, Charles Hageman and

There was but one circus annex or side-show,
and under tle supervision of its manager, W.
H. (Pop) McFarland. it was probably the most
neatly arranged jinterior—equipment and acts—
seen in the Queen City in years, possibly the
best ever. Platforms had brass rai z
pretty rugs and draperies, etrings
being profuse from tops of center
poles, and in one end a very neatly staced set
ting occur r the full proscenium
for the Hawaiian singers, dancers and instru
mentalists T attractions: Mlle, Cleo, with
a beatuiful den of large snakes; George Nelson,
tattooed man; Cuban Mack, sgord swallower
and fire-eater; Swatchiki, sword walker: Capt.
Kean'’s Kilties, five in number: Paul Herold,
giant; Dykman, fire-eater; Tarmalita, long-
haired lady; Tiny Mite, m dget horse: Princess
tlizabeth, Albino lady; Jack Tyrone, magic

ch and Judy; Carlos Gonz; ilez, Mexican
impalement act; Kalakeons tre mM of x
Hawaiians, Prof. Proctor’s Band and M nstrels
(a distinct and a most excellent feature of this
offering was the original ‘‘Rags’ in ex
temporaneous singing—decidedly clever), and a
recently added very unique and attractive at-
traction, the Five Stranzs Sisters, ranging from
six to tifteen years of age, billed as the “Five

Colonial Belles’, which is quite symbol of
the offer ng, since they all have pure w

hair that falls in curls about their shoulders
each with sky-blue eyes and eac a of them very

beautiful (twins are included in the troupe)
They sing and dance in unison and entertain
ndividually, The staff: W. H (Pop) Ma

Farland, manager and outside announcer; Ja
Tyrone, inside lecturer: Al Isenberg, Jack El
kin and George Stranzs, tickets; Capt. Jace
and George Bailey, doormen: Jobn James (Wa
burn), boss canvasman, The top is a s nty

proud of his de-show,

them, to eat.

Don’t “burn bridges’ behind you. Several

kicked out again by someone else.

Two well-known med. ¢ itertainers, Camptell
and Connors, are wondering wlere’s sirdie
Simms, and want her to shoot a pipe.

It wouldn't do any harm’ now for the
boys working parks to loosen up and let the
folks know where they spent the summer.

There is a very good indication that the
Central Northern States, at least, will have an
early fall—especiall cold) nights Which
means hustle for the boys in the daytime

other trade or profession He really tries his
best to do his work square, at least when he

is working.

Doe George M. Reed “‘records’*: “Played the
Danville (11.) Fair. It was an 18-k, bloomer
for the boys. The same jam man who was
put off the grounds at Connorsville was also
put off at Danville.”

Among the boys at the Hibbing (Minn.)
Fair were Frank Evans, needles; E. C,
Crumbley, razor paste; Edward St. Mathews,
notions, and Lewis, Buck, Nissen and Burrows,

Listen, fellers! Bill needs more short pipes
(of from ten to thirty words) to start off this
ol’ column each week. Don't say to yourselves,
“I'm going to write a lot of them some time,
but do it now and send them often! It makes
the “e mnu’* all the more interesting, gets
more of ‘the boys mentioned each week and, itn
all, greatly s this scribe put out good
reading to the kn ights of the profession,

McD. Ferguson pipes from Louisville, Ky.:
“I've enjoved the pipes from Tom Redway.
If I knew his whereabouts I would like to drop
him a line as I trouped with him in North
Carolina, season 192: ‘Smoky Joe’ Lyle was
also on the ‘opera’ that season and part of the
next. The last I heard of ‘Smoky Joe’ he was
in Aug er Bill MeQuage was here in
Louisville last nter working at the Savoy
Theater and Flora Mann was here too.”

In connection with a ‘‘truth serum’ said
to make a person tell the truth when it is in-
jected, ‘‘Zip’’ Hibler opines that if some of
it could be ‘‘shot’’ into the “city dads’’ of
some places they might come clean with the
facts concerning just who (and why) are be-
hind movements to discriminate against street
salesmen Working in their towns, and that it
might be also tried out on some pitchmen—
f'r‘ninstance a fellow who said it kept two
factories busy to supply him with soap.

Yor the ‘great adventure’, which comes to all of
us at some time. ‘Kid’ Hunt and his minstrels
was the ouly show here this year and I was
not able to get to the lot to see that. My
address is 301 Franklin street, Natchez, Miss.’’

Doe. Red Jacket (now with
Broadway Show),

Billie Clark's
wrote from Corbin, Ky.: “I
met Jim Bet and James Hendrick, wire-
jewelry workers, here Labor Day, and they had
& good tip in front of them, and were busy
handing out their wares to the crowd. They
are on their way north and report that business
with them so far has been good. Also met
Wyman with pens and pencils, headed
south. Wyman said he was still working, but
that business was only fair, as this appears to
e the worst year for his business he has ex-
perienced in years, Watched the Lone Kid
With his cow-boy makeup pitching tire pateh
to a good pass out. All of the foregoing were
working in Corbin.”*

From DeWitt Shanks at Russells Point, 0.:
“Have been vacationing for the week at this
place and it is undoubtedly one of Ohio's great-
est resort spots, has a boardwalk one and
one-half miles in length, lined with concessions
and rides; a dance pavilion, which accom-
— »s 1.000 couples; boating, fishing and bath-

ng galore, The ‘old heads’ estimated 20,000
visitors last Sunday. I worked here te big
business both Sunday and Labor Day. Am Pull-

Would like pipes from ome of my ‘del tinquent®
friends, such as ‘The Be Orator of Texas’,
Mal Griswold; Peterson lly Doyle, of peeler
fame: ‘Doe Chesterfield the original Bozo’,
and Hauer, of Tennessee.”

Glad tidings came from Orlando, Fla., last
week relative to further advancement in the
real estate field of* that former well-known
medicine showman, P. Frank Haithcox. It
was in the form of copies of two newspapers,
The Orlando Se nti tinel and The Evening Maperter.
long news article in each of thom de g
With a large tract of land near Orlando "seat

purchased by Frank, which he inte: ing
up into tracts of twelve lots ¢ or sale

purposes. Close by is the tract re ently given
by Congressman and Mrs, C. D. Haines for a
proposed $15,000,000 national newspaper men’s
home. The headings to the article in The
Sentinel read thus: ‘‘Haithecox Purchases 750
Acre Tract at Altamont Springs Property
Comprises Three and One-Half Miles of Lake
Front—Purchase Price Is $175,000."

While taking a slant. at The Mansfield (0.)
News last week, a lengthy article caught Bill's
attention. It was on a wedding of a local
couple on the stage of the Redwood med. show
the night of September 1 by Magistrate Andrew
Stevenson, with Redwood’s Orchestra providing
the instrumental music. The assemblage wit-
nessing the ceremony was estimated as num-
bering more than 8&0 persons, and ‘‘the
largest crowd ever assembled in Richland
County to attend a wedding.’’ Redwood pre-
sented the bride with $25 in gold. (Don't
know whether Doc immediately made a pitch

to the push, but—oh boy!—what an oppor-
tunity!)
From Doe W. R. Kerr: “I am still in Lake

=

City, S. C.. and will be here until the last
of the month. Business has been good here

and is still picking up each week. Dr, Maxie
is working at Florence, 8. C., twenty-tive miles
from here. He has a five-people show Doe

Kiser is at Olanta, S. C., twelve mles from
here, with a four-people show, The only paper
man seen in these parts for the past week is
Red DeWitt, who is here, George Jordan is
still here with wire jewelry, ‘Deafy Dan’ left
last Sunday for the Georgia tobacco markets.
King Cole's Comed ans are bere this week with
a high-class repertoire show. Munfort & Jones’
tent show is just six miles from here, at
Cades, S. C., and a couple of fine fellows ther

plenty of ‘med.’ and other shows around bere.
novelty rformer and boss
eanvasman, wrote from essomer, Pa.;

“Just closed a successful season with the
Rabetta Show here, this being the Jast indoor
stand. It was a very pleasant engagement,
and after a short vacation I will rejoin the
chow at Titusville, Pa., for the hall season.
Miss Babetta and her mother had a neat plat-
form motorized show and the roster was as
follows during the ent're season: Mrs. Orvina
Milette, proprietor; Miss Babetta, manager and
lecturer: Roy Eddle, black-face comedian, and
Billy Kling, who is now joining a rep Ttoire
company in New York. While the show was at
Rochester we enjoyed a nice visit from Doe
Cooper and his wife, also Bob Hartis. Miss
Rabetta is a nifty little talker—works clean—
and consequently the natives treat us royally
in every town."’

CHRISTY SHOWS

Have Another Week of Big Jumps and
Good Business—Labor Day Stand
Biggest of Season

If anyone imagines that the Christy show is

not a fast-stepping aggregation, they should
have ridden the show train the past week.
Jumps have all been around 100 miles, but the

show has been moving nicely, Business has
been topnotch, and Labor Day the attendance

established a new record, It was the biggest
day of the season. The advance force of th:
‘Silas Green’’ Company has been with the show
in several stands, in luding Howard Wilkins,
genera! agent, and his biller, Clarence White

but not as big as expected. At Russell Me
the matinee was a darb, with a good heuse at

night. A. W. Bennett and wife and a party
of troupers from the W. I. Swain Show drove
over and took in the afternoon show.

There was a long haul to the lot in Clarks-
ville, The show was new to the folks but
they turned out for a big afternoon house and
a two-thirder at night. Manager Jake
man of the side-show observed his thirty-cig
birthday anniversary and was remembered by
his friends. Employees and performers of the

side-show presented him with a diamond stick
pin.

Franklin, Tenn., a town that has never sup-
ported a moving picture house, was a dig-up
town that proved a wonder. It had no big
show in years. The lot was right in the town
and the front end of the parade was back be-

fore the -calliope got under way. The

back into Tennessee. September 1 Oscar
Rogers and Mose’ Forrest, vho had their

‘Florida Blossom"’ show at Shetticld, drove over
and met many former Sun show troupers now
with the Christy show. Another visitor was

Thomas F, Wiedeman, who is manager of t!
No. 2 W. 1. Swain Show. He came with a
party of Swain folks and was entertained by
Manager Christy and General Agent Bert
Rutherford.

of clown alley,

The Robbins Bros.’ Circus encountered some
very hot weather in Nebraska and Kansas, but
nevertheless business has been big, according
to F. Robert Saul, press agent. The parade,
with its ten new tableau wagons, nine new
dons of wid beasts, new band wagon and air
cal iope, is attracting attention. Owner Fred
Buchanan has introduced a novel and interesting
hi stor! cal pageant as the closing number of the
big show program,

Treasurer Charles Myers left in Norton, Kan.,
for his home in Des Moines, Ia., where he will
undergo throat treatment. * Jo n Schiller will
handle his duties during his absence. Harvey

CHRISTY SHOWS
Have Another Week of Big Jumps and
Good Business—Labor Day Stand
Biggest of Season

If anyone imagines that the Christy
not a fast-stepping aggregation, they should
have ridden the show train the past week.
Jumps have all been around 100 miles, but the
show has been moving nicely. Business has
been topnotch, and Labor Day the attendance
established a new record, It was the
day of the season. The advance foree of th:
‘Silas Green’’ Company has been with the show
in several stands, including Howard Wilkins,
general agent, and his biller, Clarence White
While tobacco is coming in thruout Kentucky,
the price is low and the farmers are not ov«r-
burdened with money. Elizabethtown was good,
but not as big as expected. At Russellville
the matinee was a darb, with a good house at
night. <A. W. Bennett and wife and a party
of troupers from the W. I. Swain Show drove
over and took in the afternoon show.

There was a long haul to the lot in Clarks-
ville. The show was new to the folks but
they turned out for a big afternoon house and
a two-thirder at night. Manager Jake
man of the side-show observed his thirty
birthday anniversary and was remembered by
his friends. Employees and performers of the
side-show presented him with a diamond stick
pin.

Franklin, Tenn., a town that has never sup
ported a moving picture house, was a dig-up
town that proved a wonder. It had no big
show in years. The lot was right in the town
and the front end of the parade was back be-
fore the <alliope got under way. The show
jumped into Alabama for one stand and then
back into Tennessee. September 1 Oscar
Rogers and Mose Forrest, who had their

‘Florida Blossom"’ show at Sheftticld, drove over
and met many former Sun show troupers now
with the Christy show. Another visitor was
Thomas F, Wiedeman, who is manager of the
No. 2 W. I. Swain Show. He came with a
party of Swain folks and was entertained by
Manager Christy and General Agent Bert
Rutherford.

A new ark wagon has been completed by
the mechanical department for the domesti
animals used in the spec. A one-sheet, com-
piled by the press department, is now in
use on the advance and contains the endorse-
ment of three governors, as well as afternotices
from papers in every State visited by the
show this season. There has also beon printed
and is now being posted a one-sheet panel
hanger, the notices being printed in 48-point,
and it is proving a business-getter, Shelby Ish-
ler, of the big show band, has been called to

show is

his home in Florida to look after his orange
grove. Mrs. Ishler reports the biggest crop
in years. Joe McCullom, side-show orator,
will, at the close of the season, leave for
Cuba to rest up in Havana. Robert Woodey,

of clown alley, left for his home in Joplin,
Mo. George Jennier, late of the Haag show,
s a recent addition to clown alley. The Frank-
fort (Ky.) State Journal gave the show a
plendid afternotice, saying in part that it wa
the “biggest, brightest and best show ever in
Frankfort.”’
FLETCHER SMITH, (Press Agent).

ROBBINS BROS.’ CIRCUS

New Parade Features Attract Atten-
tion

The Robbins Bros.’ Circus encountered some
very hot weather in Nebraska and Kansas, but
nevertheless business has been big, according
to F. Robert Saul, press agent. The parade,
with its ten new tableau wagons, nine new
dons of wid beasts, new band wagon and air
ealiope, is attracting attention. Owner Fred
Buchanan has introduced a novel and interesting
historical pageant as the closing number of the
big show program.

Treasurer Charles Myers left in Norton, Kan.,
for his home in Des Moines, Ia., where he will
undergo throat treatment. John Schiller will
handle his duties during his absence. Harvey
Beach has developed into a real baritone so'oist
and is appearing in the “spec’’, ‘‘Booger Red”,
who was forced to leave the show due to ill-
ness, is recovering fapidly at his home near
Miami, Ok. Mrs, Shorty Wrightsman left last
month for an indefinite visit with her parents
in Springfield, Mo. Peggy Poole, who was re-
cently bitten by a rattler, is coming along
first rate and expects to rejoin soon.

J. J. Lynch, special agent of the C., B. & Q.
R. R., was the guest of Hank Linton for
three days starting at St. Francis, Kan. Lynch
and Linton trovped on the Kid Carson Wild
West Show in 1913. Col. Wm. F. F'eming was
the guest of Mr. Buchanan in Alma, Neb.

Mrs. Milton Robbins celebrated her twenty-
seventh birthday anniversary in Alma, Neb.,
August 23. It was a big day on the show.
There was a fine strawberry and ice cream sup-
per and a big birthday cake. Violet Gallucci
sang and a monolog was deliver:d by Frank
tuker, Mra, Robbins received many presents.
Jimmie Gibson has returned to the show as head
water under Steward Ed. Hernier,

The writer jumped several days ahead of the

show from Colby, Kan., August 28, making
McPherson, Pratt, Liberal and Dodge City, and
secured some real front-page publicity for the

show Mrs. Kate and Tom Smith are making
a decided hit with their Russian wo'f hound
act. O. A. Gilson is arranging a complete new
musical program for the big show performance,

Eight rides and twenty-two paid

playing the fair. An internal revenue
officer has been on the show since last
April, when the Government seized it
at Corsicana, Tex., for alleged back
payment of war tax. In some manner
an agreement was arranged to pay the
leged back tax in weekly install-

proceed to its next stand—St. Louis—
and operate.

Business this season has been far
behind that of former years. The
show has been making a hard struggle
to keep going.

Attachment notices have been tacked
on all of the show curs.
